Go Network broken in Mavericks

I updated to Mavericks a day or two after it was available.  Almost immediately I noticed a problem with the Finder > Go > Network operation.
I have a local network with a few machines on it: the MacBook Pro Retina I'm using now, running mavericks, an oldish Intel mini running snow leopard,and a couple of other machines.   The SL machine has a couple of external drives, each with several partitions.  All sharable.
The scenario is to to do Finder > Go > Network.  Then click on the arrow to expand the available shares on one of the networked machines (the early Intel mac-mini running Snow Leopard.)   The *first* time I do this (I'll explain "first" shortly) the partitions do show up.
Then click on one of them to mount it.  The partition mounts, but then Finder displays an error message: "Operation can't be completed; an unexpected error occurred (error code 0)".
If I try to do it again, the partitions don't show up and the rotating busy wheel (not the beachball) shows up in the right-hand side of the status bar.  It never stops (until the window is closed.)
Now, if after I've tried that a couple of times and *relaunch* the Finder it works the way it did at first.
Any time in this process if instead I do Finder > Connect to Server and put in the address ("afp://...") (or pick it from a saved list) of the machine in question it all works fine -- the list of shares shows up and I can select and mount one or more of them without any errors.
It doesn't matter what account I do all that in -- standard or admin, or which of any.

I agree.  I didn't realize it until after I'd posted it that this it where my question showed up.  I'd searched for any discussion on the topic and the only similar thing (although I don't remember if it was related to Mavericks or not) happened to be in this forum and I didn't notice that.  I'll repost it to a more appropriate place.  I imagine there's a way for the site admins to move posts, but no real point in trying to figure out what that might be.

  • PDF copy to clipboard is broken in Mavericks 10.9.5

    PDF copy is broken in Mavericks 10.9.5 on my MacBook Pro 17 (mid 2009). I cannot screen capture to the clipboard (ctrl-shift-cmnd-4) or between applications when the copy format is PDF. I can, however, save as a pdf file during screen capture (shoft-cmnd-4). Other formats (pict, jpeg etc) work fine. Only pdf is broken. The error shows up as an empty clipboard and as Preview being unable to create a new file from the clipboard. Have reinstalled OSX 10.9.5 (combo update). Have created a new user and logged in as the new user (no menu bar extensions,  etc) and the problem persists. Have booted up in safe mode and the problem persists.
    Is this a combination of an old MacBook Pro (17 inch, mid 2009) and Mavericks or have others experienced this problem with different configurations?

  • AutoFS/automountd broken in Mavericks?

    Priot to upgradignto Mavericks (I was on Mountain Lion) I had AutoFS setup to mount two AFP volumes under /Volumes. Post upgrade this no longer works and in fact I cannot get any aspect of AutoFS/automountd to work.  Is this just me or is this completely broken in Mavericks?

    How do you have AutoFS set up, exactly? Have you specified auto mounts in directory utility under Mounts, or did you edit /etc/auto_master? Either way, it would appear that Mavericks no longer allows you to specify auto mounts that mount underneath /Volumes. Here is a relevant discussion:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/23537689
    Two solutions.
    1. Specify a local mount point that consists of any path not underneath /Volumes. Example: /nas.
    2. Mount the volume through the finder, and once it shows up on your desktop, open up System Preferences -> Users & Groups -> Self -> Login Items, and drag and drop the resulting mounted volume icon in there. It will re-mount on login.

  • Contacts Applescript dictionary broken in Mavericks?

    So this script works fine in Mountain Lion, but is broken in Mavericks.  Apperntly, Applescript no longer knows the class "person" anymore, even though it's still listed in the Contacts dictionary.
    tell application "Contacts"
                        repeat with theName in every person
                                  set theName2 to the name of theName as string
    display dialog theName2
              end repeat
    end tell
    When I open this script under Mavericks, the person class has been replaced by  «class azf4»
    When I try to replace that with "person" again and compile, I get "Expected class name but found identifier".
    Running 10.9.2.  Anyone else see this?????

    This question came up in this thread. The solution is to rebuild the launch services database. Run the following command in terminal:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/LaunchServices.fram ework/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
    then quit and relaunch the Finder.

  • Finder broken in Mavericks

    I am yet again stuck looking at a Finder window that is doing nothing - usually resulting in having to restart.
    I know this is not just me.
    My access to my QNAP external HD is so slow, or just fails to connect, making it unusable.  Each subsequent Mavericks update makes my machine worse - in fact, this OS is so unstable it's beyond a joke.
    These forums are full of 'solutions' that don't work or, expect the user to mess around with arcane commands in Terminal.  This, is of course, the most advanced OS in the world according to Apple.  I have never experienced a company so breath-takingly arrogant and with such poor service for it's customers.
    Simple things on an Apple take endless time or, just do not work at all.
    No doubt this will be removed by Apple (they don't want to hear the truth).
    Sorry for the rant - I've had 3 years of this rubbish now.
    The world of Apple is appalling.
    When funds allow I will cut my losses and throw my highly expensive machine in the trash.
    My wife's Mac Air has similar problems.

  • Korean language broken in Mavericks mail

    Hi there!
    I used both English and Korean language.
    Sometimes, mail contents in Korean are broken when I receive email from Korean friends.
    I tried to view message in raw source....no improvement.
    Someone suggested text encoding...but I do not know how to change text encoding in Mavericks.
    Jay

    What does it say in the "charset=" header
    charset="iso-8859-1"
    But another mail has nothing there, only "Content-Type: text/html";
    The important thing is not whether this charset is correct or not. The important thing is that Apple has made my mail experience worse by this "upgrade", for no good reason!
    Earlier, I could change encoding of mails (perhaps a badly encoded mail), but Apple has taken away that posibility for no good reason. It only affects old mails, before UTF became common. It is typical of Apple not to care about history, but for me, old mails constitute valuable history.
    Rather than taking away an option to change the encoding (or interpretation of an encoding) of a mail, I think Apple should have enhanced the feature: Sometimes, it happens that only the subject line is erronously interpretated (mime endoding of non-us-ascii characters), and I would like to fix that. It has never been possible. (This problem can even happen today with some new mails auto-generated by machines, such as auto-replies.)

  • Failed to activate guest network airport utility maverick

    Hi,
    I'm trying to activate the Guest network on a timecapsule, using the Airport utility available witk Max OSX Maverick 10.9.
    Each time I check the checkBox "Activate Gust Network", it is deseapearing from the UI. Looks like a strange bug on Airport Utility (same behaviour on a macbook pro and on a MacMini, with both up-to-date maverick)
    Even if I try to apply changes on timecapsule, the changes hasen't been taken in account, and the guest network is not Up
    Any idea?
    Many thanks for your help
    Best regards
    Marc

    The PC may be the problem.. do you have iOS device.. ipad or iphone .. then use the airport utility on that.. it is by far the most reliable out of Mac and PC versions.. iOS is tops.
    If that is not possible go the admin tool and make sure the bonjour service is running.. it might have failed to start.
    Then reboot everything.. see if the utility can locate the AE.. no luck.. it is easy.. reset to factory manually and start again.. you have no choice if the PC is the only way in.
    Factory reset universal
    Power off the AE.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the AE to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.

  • Help with a ridiculous half-broken Yosemite/Mavericks install?

    Hello all,
    I hate Yosemite. It's the Windows 8 of OS X...with broken DNS to boot.
    I was troubleshooting some video issues, and decided to try and see if the problem persisted in Yosemite.
    I downloaded the installer from the App Store and begun the install process for an installation on a flash drive.
    After the install completed, my iMac rebooted, and to my horror everything was Yosemite-y. I shut down and unplugged the flash drive.
    My suspicions were true, Yosemite had gunked up my Mavericks installation pretty bad. The boot logo was Yosemite, and my mac booted to a Yosemite installer at startup. I tried using the "kind of mac bootloader" that is invoked with the option-key, but my Mavericks install didn't show up. Luckily my Mavericks Recovery Partition was bootable, and after 2 hours of trying different ways to find and mount my Mavericks partition, I was in. The reason that this took so long was because at every step of the way, Yosemite tried its hardest to hide my Mavericks partition. (A process resembling the acts of Malware). My Mavericks partition boots, but when I startup my mac, I am greeted with the Yosemite apple logo, and Yosemite option-key bootloader, and then my Mavericks login screen.
    How did this Frankenstein of an OS even become of existence? I checked, and yes, Yosemite installed onto my flash drive, NOT my SSD, but it still shoved all the boot crap onto my Mavericks install.
    Is this even fixable, or should I restore from Time Machine? I'd rather not have to reinstall, but will if needed.

    Do a backup, preferably 2 seperate ones.
    Revert to a Previous OS X
    Revert Yosemite to Mavericks
    If you do revert, I'd use Setup Assistant to restore your data. This process takes a while, so do it when you won't need the computer for several hours, based on my experience.

  • Cannot use Windows AD Network Accounts with Mavericks

    Hi
    Mavericks is seriously getting to me and are surprised on the big quality drop the Apple products have had the past year. We are using Windows AD to handle all users and all other clients (Mac OS 10.6 - 10.8, various Windows versions) except Mavericks can use the network accounts.
    The computers with mavericks was mainly upgraded from 10.8
    Windows AD Domains are running Windows 2012
    Any advice on where to start looking? This is solely a Mac OS issue.

    having same problem with my x300 installed windows 8 2 months ago and wireless was working fine.
    then a couple of weeks ago wireless stopped working so installed windows 7 and still no wireless.
    can only get internet with Lan cable and when i troubleshoot shows that wifi is turned off try the switch but no light when i turn on and computer says that wifi is off and needs to be turned on.
    did you have any luck fixing your x300 and if you did how did you fix it?

  • Java broken on Mavericks

    Followed the various bits of advice - latest Java installed.
    Java is not working - period - in any browser.
    Yet another update that has broken what was working.
    Absolutely stuck.
    Any suggestions, anyone, please?
    Cheers,
    Mike

    Hi thanks for that - yep, I realise Mavericks is sans java.  I had installed the java as recommended on these forums.
    Actually,  I had tried installing the latest incarnation from the java site.
    Restarting the machine and checking gave me:
    Verified Java Version
    Congratulations!
    You have the recommended Java installed (Version 7 Update 45).
    This is before your kind response.
    And, after trying to get java too work for a good few days - it now does.
    Thanks, anyway.

  • Ethernet network issues with Maverick OS X

    I have a home network utilising a Ethernet switch and a Wireless/Ethernet Router. On this network I have a Imac using Maverick, and a Macbook using the older Lion OS. Since I have upgraded my IMac to Maverick, I have had non stop problems with the Ethernet connection to the Internet and the connection to my "WD MyBookLiveDuo" external network drive.
    My Ethernet connection intermittently drops out on a regular basis. My wireless connection still works however. Sometimes the Ethernet connection works for a while, then does not. I have manually inserted a IP address on the Imac, in the network settings, and The intermittent problem still persists. When the connection is lost, the network settings still says that the ethernet is connected. I do not have this problem with OS Lion on my Macbook Pro which is connected to the same network. I am reluctant to wipe the Imac and "roll back" to OS Lion. I am seeing a lot of posts out there by people experiencing the same problems with OS Maverick. Is Apple working to fix this?
    <Edited by Host>

    No.  The problem will have to be resovled by Western Digital.   Many Western Digital drives have their own firmware which will need to be upgraded to meet standard.   Better would be to get a hard drive from http://www.macsales.com/ which makes every effort to maintain Mac compatible hard drives.

  • Really slow network performance in mavericks when you get into deep folder structure

    So I've done the workarounds...
    #/net
    telling the finder not to write DS_Store files.
    When connecting to a ReadyNAS on the network the speed is too slow. sometimes having to wait 30 mins for a folder to populate. I've noticed it's just when I get a few folders into the directory that it starts to slow up.
    thing is... works fine from a PC running Win 7. And it works fine when I use a mac running mavericks but connecting to the same folder structure on an old windows server.
    Any ideas???
    I've even tried FTP but that didnt work either.

  • Toshiba Canvio Basics 3.0 causes network broken

    I use my extenal hdd(usb 3.0) to macbook(MacBook5,2,OS X 10.8.1 (12B19)).
    During copying files, the network is broken.
    I use other hdd(usb 2.0), but  there is no same situation.
    Does anyone have same situation?
    How can I submit this problem to Apple by email?
    Thansk.

    That's too bad. >_<
    I have look up online support page. It recommends to go to Apple store, but I don't think it's work.
    I just stop copy action and monitor network by ping.
    When I copy file, ping is timeout. When I stop it, ping is normal.
    Strangely, it's noraml sometimes after reboot.
    I think it may be caused by some driver issue.
    Thanks.

  • Open file alarms severely broken under Mavericks

    Hi.
    So when I updated my systems to Mavericks, all of the alarms/alerts that open file to run an automator or Applescript applet had to be reset.
    Even resetting was tedious, as each of the applets first had to be run from the finder.  Then reset to the event(s) in Calendar..... but onle 2 can be set, then quit Calendar, then go back into calendar and set the next two......
    Until Mavericks, I have depended on Canlendar to run everything.Calendar, invoking applets is like the best thing since sliced bread for our uses!  On some days I have > 20 event alerts set.
    The problem is that even after the tedious process of resetting all the alerts, once set, any adjustment to one will cause it to run at that instant.  For example, I just went in to change a timer that was set to stop a particular event in another (scriptable) application at a particular time.  I chose to just delete the timer because I knew that changing it would cause it to run right then.  So I deleted it. Just deleting the alert caused it to run. right then.
    Note to Apple: PLEASE FIX THE PROBLEM WITH CALENDAR AND AUTOMATOR / APPLESCRIPT applets!!!!
    Note to anybody else who has been likewise devastatingly affected, IS THERE ANOTHER 3rd party app available that will do what we have been dependent on Calendar to do?
    This is awful. What a disaster.

    Wow, ahahah.
    Found the bug source. A big OSX security flaw in my opinion. As the file was on the desktop, the path was Users/Me/Desktop/... However, I had a network connection to my pc, and the link was to my user account, Users/me/... So OSX was not trying to open its own /Users/ path but my PC folder... Somebody could fool the system, by creating a volume called /Users/... with some fake duplicate files, and someone could try to open something on his drive, but in fact it would load the evil Users volume.
    I don't understand how this could be possible. I never understood how bad the OSX network volumes system was that bad, but never tought it would be so crappy.

  • Apple's DVI to Video adapter broken in Mavericks

    Good Day,
    I've been monitoring this community forum as a guest only, because IMHO registering with anything over the Internet is equivalent to giving up a piece of your soul, but I could not find anything that would help my unique situation since upgrading to Mavericks. So here I am, and here is my situation.
    I own a late 2007 15" Macbook Pro running 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. It's a Vintage brand. The last known OS X I had on it was Lion, and it worked beautifully when I could output my video display using the DVI to composite/S-video adapter hooked up to an analog "tube" TV. I could watch DVDs, YouTube vids in expanded mode, I even figured out how to watch iTunes movies on the TV... at the sacrifice of my computer use. Basically, I needed Mavericks' independent display feature.
    But I couldn't have it.
    After downloading Mavericks overnight and installing it the next day, My computer would not boot up. It stuck at the Apple logo screen with the loading gear continuously rotating upon itself until it became opaque (too involved too explain). After having service done, I isolated the problem to the adapter. Not only could it not boot up when plugged in, but it also didn't display when plugged in while powered up unless you hit the Mirror Display key. Further experimentations involved using DVI to DVI cables, DVI to VGA cables, and they worked fine.
    I will not upgrade to a new HDTV or a new Macbook because everything I have still works, and I can't afford a new setup because jobless. At this point, I don't know what to do. Does Mavericks just plain not want to recognize my DVI port? Is there another way to hook this old laptop to an old TV with the equipment I already have?

    Well, my proposed workaround, involving two adapters, does work, and indeed works quite well.
    1. Apple's DVI to VGA adapter, plugged into the Mac on one side, and on the other side:
    2. Male to male VGA gender changer, which plugs into:
    3. VideoSecu PC to TV converter with both S-video and composite video outputs, QVGA2TV 1L7, which costs about $20 on Amazon.
    I use the S-video output, which in fact goes to an S-video balun, and from there via a Cat5 cable to another balun upstairs where my TV is. (I have a separate balun for digital audio into my DAC upstairs.) After some tweaking of the VideoSecu, I got a picture that is noticeably better than the one I got with the Mac DVI-to-Video adapter which I had been using before upgrading to Mountain Lion.
    So, yes, the additional adapter adds to desk clutter, but heck, since Apple has never fixed this problem with Mountain Lion, it might never get around to fixing it with Mavericks, so this solves the problem here and now.
